Why do certain groups insist on keeping racism alive? I’m not talking about white supremacists or the KKK, two groups that are racist to the bone. I’m talking about the NAACP and Black Lives Matter. These four groups just mentioned do more harm to race relations and keep the hate stirred up. If all four would go away, it would help this country heal itself.

Why don’t people shut the hell up and let President Trump do his job. Get over it, shut the hell up, and let the man do his job. He is President whether you like it or not.

I see the city has taken no steps to require street numbers be affixed to all buildings and homes. Have you ever tried to find a place by using the street number? Good luck.

Also, why aren’t all business signs required to be at least 50 percent English? This is not a racist request; it is a request to make the city come together more.

How many times have you driven by a road project full of equipment and no one is there?

Social media my butt— I get sick of hearing people say “we get our message out on social media.” Most websites are very confusing (try to look up a movie time & theater it’s playing in). If print is dead, why do Walmart, Ford, Chevrolet, etc. still run print ads?

You are allowed to express your opinion no matter if it is unpopular. Speak out. Exercise your rights.

How many more craft beer and burger joints can this city support? I see a lot of closings in the future. No one seems to be rushing to rent the empty places on north shore or North Market near the bridges… what’s up with that?

Everyone seems to be excited about SEC football season starting.

Well, it seems the new city park at MLK and Market is going to be one of those drawn out projects. I miss the beautiful trees they destroyed. So many millions spent—what a waste.

We need to bring Kirkman High School back. Remember Kirkman? It was a vocational school that also taught the students a trade (mechanic, hair care, carpenter, etc.) along with reading, writing, & arithmetic. Let’s give some students a chance to prepare for the work force. Everyone isn’t going to college.
